4Connect the Outer Rail to the Rack

5Insert the UNS into the Rack

1.2.1 Prepare the Installation Requirements

• A rack with 2U space.

• Two sliding rails.

• 10 M6 screws for attaching both outer rails to the rack.

• The rack depth can be from 71.12 cm to 91.44 cm (28 to 36 inches).

Note: Failure to use the proper screws may damage the unit.

1.2.1.1 Precautions

• Make sure the rack will safely support the combined weight of all the equipment it contains. The

weight of the UNS with 12 hard drives installed is about 22.8 KG. The maximum load the rails can

hold is 33.56 Kg.

UNS Series Hardware Installation Guide

• Make sure the position of the UNS does not make the rack unstable or top-heavy. Take all

necessary precautions to anchor the rack securely before installing the unit.

1.2.2 Separate the Slide Rails

A slide rail consists of an inner rail and an outer rail. Release the lock (1) and slide out out the inner

rail completely to separate the rails.

1.2.3 Connect the Inner Rail to the UNS

1Connect the inner rail to the UNS by latching it onto the screws on the UNS body.

2Repeat this procedure for the other inner rail on the other side of the UNS.

1.2.4 Connect the Outer Rail to the Rack

Find a space in the rack that is 2U high. The space between two triangles is 1U high.

1Adjust the length of the outer slide rail to the depth of the rack. The front of the outer rail can slide

out. This is the side that should be at the front of the rack.

2Screw the outer rail onto the side of the rack using the M6 screws and nuts. Repeat for the other

side of the rack.

1.2.5 Insert the UNS into the Rack

It is recommended that two people insert the UNS (with inner railings attached) into the rack.

The inner rail (attached to the UNS) has two locks. Use the inner lock to slide the inner rail into the

outer rail (already attached to the rack).

1Release the inner lock and slide the UNS with inner rail attached onto the outer rail already fastened

to the rack.

2Push the inner rail all the way into the outer rail.

Note: Make sure the screws are fastened tightly as protruding screws will impede

insertion of the hard drive tray into the UNS.

Put the hard drive tray back into the UNS by sliding it gently all the way in, and then closing the

front.

Note: Do NOT close the front handle before you slide the hard drive tray all the way back

in.

1.4 About the Power Modules

There are two power module slots with two power modules. One module is redundant, so if one

power module fails the system can operate on the remaining module. It is recommended that you

use two power modules.
